ARIES. Commit yourself now so that you can be free. Tie yourself up so that you can be loose. Saturn opposite Aries now indicates responsibility, practical planning, hard work and obstacles ahead. It is about being prepared and self sufficient. It is about saving for a rainy day and emphasizing certainty and reliability. It will take a couple of years. Do not make yourself too fixed or too stable. Keep yourself liquid. When Uranus goes into Aries 2011-2018, just the opposite will happen. You will want to get out of any cage you have built for yourself and the key to the lock will come

TAURUS. It is all about the friends in your life now. New ones come and old ones stay. Network, network, stay in touch and do not let them disappear from your life. Let your friends be your meditation now and the source of your joy and abundance. To-connect-with-the-Other is why you came to Earth and into the body. Your fate and fortune are intricately intertwined with the commune, the tribe, the others who share a common goal and purpose and values. Take the time to get closer to the Other and be part of the whole.

GEMINI. Time to do what you have always intended to do and achieve those high and lofty goals of yours. Time to achieve and do it now because by 2012 you are not going to feel like it anymore. Good fortune is with you to do what you have not yet done. Time to do it just so you don’t have to do it anymore. It is all about achievement so you can let go. It is all about being in the world so that you can be with yourself and nature. It is all about being successful so that you can be just the nothingness of you. Time for success.

CANCER. Time for the moth to leave the cocoon and become the butterfly. Time for the tadpole to become the fish and, finally, the little ugly duckling to become the swan. Transformation is at hand and the labor of birth will be worth it all when the cry of new life is heard. Time to make the journey to a far away land and to be the teacher or to be taught. Truth is at hand and all the ups and downs of your life will take shape and form. It is the Meaningfulness of life that is important to you now and only in your Aloneness will you know.

LEO. Mars in Leo now gives you the extra energy to push the river and get to the other side. Competition or conflict are correct for you now and your desires are the driveway to the divine. Movement and action are your methods and power and purpose are your aims. Leave peace and contentment for another day as you do, do, do what it takes to get what you want. Better to be the leader than the follower and better to be the teacher than the student. It is absolutely okay with the universe that you be at the front of the line.

VIRGO. Time to be nice, not to be right. Time to balance opposing points of view, not to analyze any kind of absolute truth. Time to be artistic and creative, not to be scientific and correct. These months for you are all about relationship, symmetry and beauty. This is a time for experiencing how the parts can join together to become whole. The lesson to learn is how to put apples and oranges together and consider them just different forms of the same fruit. Relationship is important to you now and the Other is the mirror of your soul. Adapt yourself and be separate no more.

LIBRA.. Good for your attention to others to make way for attention to yourself. Saturn transit in Libra for the next couple of years is an inward looking, introverted, stabilizing time of life. It is about making a plan for your life even if the unexpected happens instead. It is about being self sufficient and meeting your own social and emotional needs from within. It is actually about not feeling the need for anything or anyone. It may feel like increased burden or responsibility, but actually it is a process to take you deeper, deeper into your aloneness so that you can come out even more social before.

SCORPIO. Busy, busy at your work, but watch where you put your feet. You have the energy, but the tendency is to rush through things to try to get them all done. Pay attention to details and the little things. Clean out the closet, sweep under the rug, do all the routine, obligatory little tasks that everyday life requires. Hold back that feeling to speculate and take a risk. It is not what you think it is. Keep it simple, ordinary and down to Earth. Paradoxically, this will make you more lovable and the Other wants to be with you.

SAGITTARIUS. Good time to give a party. Open up your home and invite all the beloveds over to share your tea and music. Have a party to bring all the family together. Have another party for all your friends and particularly invite those lonely souls who need a friend. Make your home your friend and appreciate the shelter it has given you. Put something pretty on any bare wall and talk in soft and soothing tones to the floors and furniture. Family is your nourishment now and if you go traveling, take them with you.

CAPRICORN. Do it your way. Through your age and experience, you have earned that right. Through your age and experience, you have earned that responsibility. The world needs you now to guide them through the weeds of the garden and the terrors of the night. The world needs to know what you have learned, but they don’t know how to ask. Just move along on your path and those that are right for you will benefit if they follow. You don’t have to say a word. Your essence is the message and your spirit is the light.

AQUARIUS. Go for the money. Go for it now. Go for it while the energy is there and make as much of it as you can. Put your attention on it, particularly anything having to do with liquids, fish, teaching meditation, or helping people. I hope you get fucking rich with the stuff because for you it becomes a spiritual tool. In a couple of years it will have no meaning or motivation for you other than a way of helping people. The paradox is that at this time you will need to be competitive and maybe people get upset with you. That’s okay. Later they will understand.

PISCES. Happy Birthday precious one. Sorry to be the bearer of good news, but this is a lucky and good fortune time for you. It is also good to feel more self-confident and more deserving about yourself. Forget about the suffering of others for awhile and just enjoy yourself. Stop trying to steal other people’s pain. They have to do their karma and if you try to suffer with them, it doesn’t help. It just doubles the pain. Drop feeling guilty about feeling good and just enjoy. Your happiness will be contagious and you can help people that way.
